Appeal after man assaulted on bus – Bristol

We’re investigating an unprovoked attack which happened on a bus and asking for help to trace the man pictured.

It happened on the top deck of a number 43 bus between Old Market and Lawrence Hill in Bristol at about 4.30pm on Friday 6 March.

A male passenger in
his 30s was approached by a man who slapped, punched and kicked him. The
assault was apparently unprovoked and nothing was said by the assailant. The victim was left with cuts and bruises
which did not need hospital treatment.

The suspect is
described as white, aged in his late 20s to mid 30s and about 5ft 10 ins tall
with dark hair and a short gingery beard.
